GENERAL CLEANING
Use a lint-free wipe, dampened with deionized water, to clean any dust from the filter cap bob-
bins, slide holder, and cabinet exterior. Turn off the power to the instrument before cleaning any
areas except for the cap seal and below the sample holder.
Occasionally drops may fall off of a filter as it rotates for evacuation. These drops fall on the base
liner (absorbent pad) below the sample holder. This area also requires periodic cleaning. To gain
access to this area, execute the Waste System sequence as described in “CAP SEAL CLEAN-
ING” on page 7.8.
In general, be sure to clean up spills when they occur. Use a lint-free wipe to absorb any spills
and then wipe the area of the spill with a lint-free wipe dampened with deionized water.
